Practise? There's plenty of good ninja work around, I'm sure.

Ah. That is sufficiently foreign a concept to me that I hadn't thought of it, but as soon as you said it, it makes sense. And, of course, I'll forget by next time.

I don't think I'm needed, those jokes write themselves.

I'm guessing you guys that like Billy maybe read Head-Fi or something? Because over here, he's only ever an asshat.

Garden of Shadows, Quo Vadis, and Psycroptic, off YouTube ( ).

Was sold out by the time I woke up (3am).

Apogee have a great sense of humor -- knowing them, it's probably on purpose.

Splitting should be fine depending on the impedances of the pre-outs, power-in, and sub-in (or headamp and powered monitors in the case of Hopstretch). Try it, worst you can get (in your specific case) is deteriorated sound.

Incorrect -- the Maestro was designed as a preamp, and did well as one.

Current gen? & Hurray!

Of course I'm interested in hearing what someone like you (I.E. someone with a good ear) can do!

Whoa. I just heard something I've never heard before: at 3:27 of "Why So Serious?" from the Dark Knight soundtrack, there are some bass throbs that are practically subterranean. I've got it set at 25% (-32db). Seems to be a good place (gain), plus it's a power of two, so the computer isn't taxed at doing the maths.

When I said, "it's not even my house", what I meant to say was, "I don't want to listen to it, much less subject my headphones -- expensive or otherwise -- plus a house that's not even mine -- to the (admittedly unknown) dangers". I'm not worried about fires, I'm worried about the unknown. If I had more confidence in him as an engineer, then I wouldn't; but I don't, so I do.

Well, (a) I was being snarky; ( attacking Singlepower at this point is like kicking a dead horse when it's down; © attacking Singlepower to throw off the attack of RSA is ... well, like beating a dead horse -- let's not compare oranges to apples that have fallen off the tree long enough ago to start to rot; (d) RSA has done nothing to reinstate my confidence in RSA -- fire, electrical, or otherwise. I didn't like the way he handled that, and I am particularly suspect when higher voltages are involved. I am merely stating my skepticism, which -- under the circumstances -- is apt.

Pfff. Sorry, it's not even my house, I'm not willing to risk it.

Jesus, MicroCenter blowing out older Mac Minis for $399.

Widescreen edition.

Hurray!

Isolation + exaggerated bass + easily obtainable + <US$200 == DT770 (comes in 80 ohm) AKG K271?

Spinecar, Autophile -- indie metal

What the hell is 'death by flatulence'?

What do you mean, 'if'?

Cool! Will do.
